What is cardiopulmonary resuscitation?

Open in App
Solution

Cardio-pulmonary resuscitation is the administration of the life-saving measures of external cardiac compression massage and mouth to mouth resuscitation (artifical respiration) to someone collapsing with cardiac arrest. This is very helpful in certain cases. The massaging allows the heart muscles to work properly for sometime, till the person is hospitalised.
